tiny-librarian:Marie Antoinette was dressed in white brocade sewn with diamonds; not only had she brought many stones from Vienna, but Louis XV had given her the parure of her bridegroom’s late mother. In odd contrast to such glittering adornment, her wedding dress did not fit properly, both her stays and petticoats showing through a gap. She was so overcome when she signed the register she spelt her name wrongly and spilt some ink - a large blot can still be seen on the page. Louis-Auguste, in a golden suit also sewn with diamonds, was even more nervous than his wife, trembling and blushing.Marie Antoinette - Desmond Seward -- source link
